WELCOME TO THE SOLAR PIONEERS Because of our gift to life here on Earth, we believe we have a
special covenant to be stewards of the earth and thereby have an
inherent responsibility to increase awareness and encourage practices
that will protect and preserve our natural environment.

We recently built an Earth friendly state of the
art home. It is constructed with recycled steel from old
cars and is covered with a stucco outer shell. It features a
Spanish/Mediterranean style structure, arched windows, solar hot water
radiant floor heat, and has an air to air heat exchanger for air
conditioning.

Electricity is supplied from 11 banks of
solar panels providing 5000 watts of clean energy. It provides enough
electricity to power the entire home including a complete music recording studio.
The studio is the first of its kind in the nation. On the property is a solar powered 1200 sq. ft.
workshop where electric cars are built and solar seminars are given.
Solar floor radiant heat allows this building to be used year
round.

We are pioneers of solar electric for homes and have been
personally living with it for more than twenty four years. We have won a
National Energy Award, been on National Television, won second place in
the APS National Electric Car Race and have had many articles written
about our achievements in newspapers and magazines.
